Portland got Its first glimpse of
a championship calibre drum corps
Saturday when the drum corps of
Capital Post No. 9 appeared at a
practice drill on Multnomah field to
get in shape for the national con
test of the American Legion to be
held next Wednesday. Following
the rehearsal the corps appeared
before the Paramount theater and
then went on the air over radio
station KWJJ for 15 minutes with
J. T. Delaney, vice commander of
the post, guest announcer. The
corps later visited the Multnomah
hotel, where headquarters will be
maintained during the convention,
and gave a short concert In the
lobby. Invitations was extended to
appear over the same radio station
several times during the national
convention, telephone calls during
their appearance Saturday night
proving the popularity of the or
ganization. A bench which has stood In the
E. B. Millard garden for the last 20
years and which has been the boon
companion ot its owner for that
length of time, has disappeared. "I
knew times were pretty hard, but I
did not believe they were so tough
that a person would feel like steal
ing my bench," commented Millard
when he discovered the missing
piece of lawn furniture. "For years
It has been my friend, and It Is
greatly missed." Millard believes the
bench was carted away In some ones
automobile or truck since It was
most too heavy to be carried. It had
iron standards with oak slats, and
was painted an orange color.

Chances of a football game with

dimmed considerably during the

Keene. Andy Peterson spent the
summer with Coach Klum of Ha
waii, as a member of the latter
baseball team, reported upon his
return here last night that owing to
adverse business conditions In Ha
waii, the island school would not be
able to give a guarantee sufficient
to pay the expenses ot the Bearcat
squad. As an alternative Klum of
fered to give Willamette 60 percent
of the gate receipts. The local school.
however, with Its athletic fund at
the vanishing point, would not be
able to take a chance on the latter
proposition. While negotiations are
still under way, Coach Keene does
not believe the game will be played,
at least not this year.

THOMAS GRILLS
OLD PARTIES
New York, Sept. 9 (Un Norman
Thomas, socialist candidate for pres
ident, issued a Labor day statement
today in which he called voting for
the old parties, "with the Meltons,
Astors and Ra&koba, scabbing at the
ballot box."
He attacked the record of Frank
lin D. Roosevelt on which ha based
his claim to be a "liberal." And he
said that "Hoover's record Is well
known and generally disapproved
by theworkers. Many are so busy
hating him that they swallow Roos
evelt on faith."
The socialist candidate attacked
action of several federation ot labor
state organizations in endorsing the
Roosevelt candidacy. "You can't in
dorse the candidate without Indors
ing the party," he said.
"The democratic party today Is
not the party of Jefferson or Jack
son. It is the party of that great foe
of liberty and labor, former Attor
ney General A. Mitchell Palmer, of
Vincent Astor, of Tammany Hall, of
the southern reactionaries.
"What an army to fight labor's
battles. An angel from heaven could
not reform that party. And Roose
velt is no such angel.
"This Labor day week-end," Tho
mas said, "Is for 12,000,000 American
workers only another week-end In
the dreary and fear ridden proces
sion ot days without work and al
most without hope.
"Nevertheless, the Labor day hol
iday Is a symbol of labor hope and
labor's power. . , The spirit of the
workers Is not dead. . . . How shall
that spirit best express Itself?" he
asked.
He then launched Into his attack
on the old parties and appealed for
a strong party "devoted to the inter
ests of those who toil with hand and
brain." Labor, he said, "should en
dorse the socialist ticket this year."
F

' Contribution to this col
umn most be confined to 300
words and signed by writer.
To the Editor: We are told that
all we need to bring back "good
times" Is the return ot beer; that
beer will furnish a market, In its
manufacture, for all the surplus
grain.
But we are also told that there is
more liquor made and used now
in this country than In pre-prom
bttlomdays. From what Is all this
liquor made which is being used
now? .
Farm produce of some kind must
be used in the making of liquor,
and it would seem that farmers
must be prosperous in the extreme
with such a demand for their prod
ucts as all this Immense making
of liquor would call for. Since
farmers confessedly are anything
but prosperous now, one or two
things would seem to be true-
Either not very much liquor is now
being made or else the use of farm
products for making liquor would
not bring prosperity. The United
States government experts state
that about one-fourth as much li
quor Is being consumed in this
country now as there was before
the passage of the eighteenth am
endment. In that case the return
ot beer might help If it did not
interfere with other business.
For example, since prohibition
there has been an enormous in
crease in the use of dairy products.
Now It takes more farm produce
to get a gallon of milk than a gal
Ion of beer. A dime spent for beer
would not be used to purchase ice
cream, so the milk trade would fall
off. as the beer trade gained. Again.
business men in all lines voted for
the amendment' In order to turn
the money toward the paying of
grocery, meat, fuel and clothing
bills which was wasted In the pur
chase of liquor. The return of beer
would simply aggravate the depres
sion by drawing money from legit
imate trade.
But we are reminded that milk
producers, farmers in general and
tradesmen of all lines are anything
but prosperous now. Very true.
But what llquor-uslng country Is
prosperous today? Why not recog
nize the fact that less than 20 years
ago the world destroyed more
property In four years than it could
produce In 40, and that we along
with the rest or tne world are sui-
fering the consequences of that
folly and curse? And. furthermore,
that wc are vastly better oft than
any other nation, and that one
great reason for our better state Is
the fact that we have wasted much
less on our resources in making and
drinking liquor tor 12 years past
than any other country. To bring
back liquor to Improve hard times
would be a "Jumping from tne Try
ing pan Into the fire."

Salem, Sept. 2, Si. '
To The Editor:
The Sales Tax bill recently passed
by congress to balance the budget
has been In existence lor lorty
one days, during which time It has
collected 834.000 In Oregon
This bill was called an emer
gency bill to meet a deficit that
existed In the united mates treas
ury. It is the msot far-reaching
and drastic tax that was ever Im
posed upon the American people,
even worse than a war time mea
sure, and naturally causes more or
less discussion among the people In
all walks of life, many wondering
whv such a tax should be Imposed,
say'lrg they had no idea that It was
as far reaching as It tt.
A prominent citizen asked me this
day why it was necessary to Impose
such a tax in 'a rich country like
the United States. My answer in
part was as follows:
First : It was a long and hard fight
to secure an Income tax. corporation
tax. and inheritance tax. This was
accompifced after we amended the
constitution of the United States.
During the Word war, the taxea
mentioned above brought billions
of dollars to our treasury. Immedi
ately at the close of the wsr. a con
centrated effort was directed
gayest the tax and they kept, up
their fight until they practically
destroyed it.
Second: They repealed the excess
profits tax. They practically des
troyed tne sur-tax. reduces- tne in
come tax, and refunded nearly four
ion dollar K0.MjM8f to
heavy taxpayers in tne United
States, mostly to those who made
money out of the war. They paid
Interest to the amount of mora thaa
8150,000,000. The United State
Steel corporation received at one
time $33,000,000 tax refund. The at
torney's fee for the same was $5,
000.000. Andrew Mellon, under whom
three presidents have served, and
who has directed our financial af
fairs since 1021, has been very
largely responsible for the condi
tion that confronts us today. From
the minute that Mellon stepped
into the treasury department big
business moved In, and under his
guiding hand and influence they
have succeeded in bringing about
the conditions that confront us.
Back of the whole matter was to
force a sales tav upon the people of
the United States, making It the
tax system of our country, and In
the end do away with the direct
tax upon accumulated fortunes. It
Is the old fight over from the be
ginning of time to tax the masses
to the limit.

GRAPE GROWERS
OF CALIFORNIA
WANT REPEAL
Orap grower of central Califor
nia are looking toward the repeal
ot the prohibition law for a revival
In business conditions of that sec
tion, stated Forrest W. Glnn, Pen
ney store manager of Lodi, Calif.,
who with his wile and two boys ar
rived in Salem Bunday for a short
visit with relatives In this district.
Upon the prices received for the pro
ducts of their vineyards will depend
the ability of many growers to retain
title to their holdings, Oinn states.
since many of them have been mere
ly hanging on during the past two
seasons.
Lodi growers who specialise In
wine and Tokay grapes have an ex
cellent crop this season but so far
few offers have been received. The
early crop Is being handled almost
exclusively on a consignment basis.
Ordinarily the grapes are sent out
with a minimum shipment of 30 cars
a day while during the peak move
ment 100 carloads are forwarded to
central west and Atlantic seaboard
cities.
Two years ago grape growers
flooded the eastern markets with
the result that the price dropped to
a level which did not return enough
money to pay the freight charges In
some Instances. This year a control
system whereby actual demand la
taken care of Its being used. It Is
hoped to stabilize the price through
this system.
Several California communities
are virtually on a barter basis, Glnn
states, while others are considering
it. Common labor In the vineyards
la paid 15 cents an hour while grape
Dickers are receiving the lowest
wage tn years.
Commodity prices in his own line
have reached the bottom and some
have actually advanced, Glnn says.
Advances have been particularly no
ticeable in cotton goods.
Glnn entered the Penney organ
ization at Dallas and received his
training under R. R. Imbler. From
Dallas he was sent to Willi ta. Cal.,
where he opened a store in 1929. A
year ago he was transferred to Lodi,
a city of 8000 population. The coun
try surrounding Lodi is devoted al
most exclusively to grape culture,
many other fruits are grown, Glnn
says,
EVENTFUL HUNT
RETURNS GEMS
Breckenbrldge. Tex. (LP) After a
five-months period, during which it
seemed many times that the trail
was hopelessly lost, Louis Dalchea,
local Jeweler, has finally received
what he declares Is the last ot the
jewels stolen, from him by a bandit
on the morning of Nov. v, an.
The last Installment came from
Popularvllle. Miss., In a package con.
taming 13 diamond rings valued at
$2,000.
But It was not as easy as that
sounds. The bandit robbed the store
as a clerk opened for business. Lo
cal officers traced all leads, and
seemed to have come to a stand
still. Then a farm youth kicked over
a coffee can on a Palo Pinto coun
ty farm and saw a $2,500 diamond
ring and several expensive wrist
watches roll out.
The can also contained an un
dershirt with the Initials "J. W.
W." It was the clue that finally
led to recovery of the Jewels. The
bandit was identified, and a Ste
phens county grand Jury indicted
him, but his whereabouts was un
known. There followed a bank raid
In Louisiana, and a man was shot
down by officers. In the lining of
his cap were found $2,000 in cash
and 14 diamonds.

HUNTING EDICT
OPENS FORESTS
ENTIRE SEASON
Hunters can safely Man trios into
Oregon forests this fall. "Plenty" of
woods will be open to entry.
"Although certain areas In state
and national forests are under do
sure order, no danger exists this
year that governor will issue a pro
clamation postponing the hunting
season," said State Forester Lynn
Cronemlller. Numerous queries from
apprehensive sportsmen received at
Salem Indicate uncertainty as to
regulations now enforced, said the
forester.
"Only restrictions that will be
placed on hunters this year are
those imposed by the closure law.
said Cronemlller. The governor's
authority to postpone opening of the
shooting season was eliminated two
years ago.
Owing to the extreme fire hazard.
Governor Meier has issued procla
mations elenng considerable por
tions of land to entry except by per
mit. Closures tn Coos county Include
lands lying on both sides of the
Coos bay highway, comprising some
250,000 acres. Much of this is cut
over land, representing a serious
hasard. Arrangements have been
made for securing permits for entry
at practically every road and trail
that goes Into the area.
The principal area in Curry coun
ty is in two separate units. One In
cludes all the watershed of the Pis
tol, Cheteo and Wlnehueh rivers ly
ing within the boundaries of the
Siskiyou national forest. The other
includes the watershed of Elk river
east of the town of Port Orford.
"The principal federal closure, ab
solute in nature, includes a large
portion of the Mount Hood national
forest, It was necessitated because
of hasard occasioned through the
serious blow-down ot 1831. Under
another federal order the territory
adjacent to the Came Prairie reser
voir in Deschutes county Is closed.
"Under proclamation of the gov
ernor a large portion of the Santiam
national forest lying in the water
shed of the north fork of the San-
tiam river Is also closed, entry by
permit. The Green bridge section tn
Jefferson county Is absolute closure.
Portions of the south fork of the
McKenzle. the head of Fall creek,
an area near Oakrklge, and another
